Virt-Manager (Libvirt)

The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt.

It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux containers).

It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance & resource utilization statistics.
Wizards enable the creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain’s resource allocation & virtual hardware.

Virt-manager serves as a convenient testing solution for Nomadesk, similar to VirtualBox, the big difference being that KVM is a type 1 hypervisor and will give better performance.

Setting Up Nomadesk

Using this solution means that importing an OVA or OVF file is not possible, the Other Installation Methods can be used in this case.

In the example below the kickstart ISO file installation method will be shown but the others are also possible to do.

Download the ISO file from the Other directory form the FolderLink here: https://nmd.sk/F7x5b3zR

Creating the Virtual Machine

Click on the New VM icon and create a new virtual machine.

Next select Local install media and select the ISO file downloaded in the previous step and click Forward

Enter AlmaLinux 9 as operating system if needed and click Forward

Give the virtual machine at least 8GB of memory and 4 vCPU's and click Forward

As an OS disk, create at least a 50GB disk and click Forward

In this final step of the wizard give the machine a name and make sure to select Customize configuration before install and click Finish

Add a second disk that will be used for storing the data.
Size can depend on your usage, in this case a 250GB disk will be added.

Click Add Hardware at the bottom left, select Storage and enter 250GB as size

Once done, click Finish and Begin Installation.

Next the steps in the Kickstart ISO can be followed.
